An abstract is a short summary of your presentation or research. It tells the conference organizers—and potential attendees—what your talk, poster, or paper will be about. They usually include:

- The topic or problem you’re addressing.

- Why it matters.

- What you’ve found or will present.

- What you hope people will learn from it.

Think of it like the "blurb" on the back of a book: it gives just enough information to explain what it's about and make people want to learn more.
